Superman/Smallville, TV Series

As Supergir’s Delayed Cap to season three hits, DC leaves for their summer vacation, just in time as Cloak & Dagger might actually work together this episode.  Meanwhile, if you thought that you finally would have some free time, Luke Cage drops from Harlem (or Netflix) to take up your entire weekend on Friday!

Incredibles 2 – The Bureau42 Review

Movies

Fourteen years after the last movie, Incredibles 2 picks up immediately where the previous one left off.  Does it capture the same magic and quality?  Is Brad Bird still the best writer/director the Fantastic Four have had?  Does a lack of the definite article hamper the title at all?

My nine year old (Inara) thought it was awesome.  My five year old (Majel) thought the fights were scary, but the rest was alright.  My twenty year old (Raven) texted “It was incredible.”  My forty-year old man thoughts are below the cut.

Superman/Smallville, TV Series

The shows continue to dwindle as Legion pretends to be the X-Files instead of the X-Men for his finale, and Legend and the Flash’s episode titler was bored with the end of those seasons and brings the pun game to Supergirl.  Cloak & Dagger explorer alternative religions.  In the world of ink and paint, where Big Hero 6 explore an EMP, and Spider-Man returns from his hiatus.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning June 3rd 2018

Superman/Smallville, TV Series

I typically wouldn’t include animation, but if I didn’t, there would only be two shows to mention.  Supergirl decides to vacation on a chunk of her homeworld while the rest of the crew have an After-School special reminding us that guns are bad, and Legion might actually reveal some things as we near the end of the season.  Also, Legion got Season 3.

Also, feel free to be drawn into Big Hero 6’s television show.  Let us know if it’s worth a few moments to watch it (and to continue mentioning it here.)

[ETA: I somehow missed Cloak and Dagger, it’s been added to this list.]

The Dwindling Chapters leave us with two specials for Lucifer, (which is still canceled as far as I can find).  Otherwise, Supergirl is surprised to see that Krypton was renewed.  On the other side of the aisle, Legion…  He’s still beautiful and crazy.

Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

Much less to watch this week, with even more finales.  Lucifer is gone, but next Monday we will get an extra two episodes that they filmed for season four.  Ariel Dubois turns up to give Supergirl a hard time.  The Flash races into DeVoe’s Cranium.  Supergrandpa hits the bottle, and Legion figures out what he wants to do any gets on with it.  Arrow was listed as having more episodes on the source I used, but Wikipedia believes the season is over, and the previous episode did seem pretty final.

We are nearing the season’s end, or are at the end, and for at least one show, the return is Debatably Canceled.  Lucifer ends, but there are two more episodes hiding somewhere that were originally moved to Season 4, but now may be part of a home video release.  Supergirl deals with family members to fight the season’s big bad.  The Flash races his big bad to build a machine.  Supergranddad has to decide if he wants to save a city in a bottle.  Arrow advertises an Epic Final Battle, but still has two more episodes for the season.

Meanwhile Legion makes you question all of the ideas you’ve ever had including the sanity in trying to follow the show (but stays a beautiful high-budget art project) and the Agents wrap up their season, though they are renewed for an abbreviated sixth season.  Then the “teens” of Riverdale wrap their season with an election.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning May 6th

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

Another week as we get to the end of our seasons, with a few penultimate and anti-penultimate episodes.  Don’t Count on these posts stopping, though, as we have shows until June.  Lucifer attempts to get back to normal after Pierce and Cloe’s events last episode, Supergirl uses Jimmy against his girlfriend, The Flash keeps its title pun game strong,  Supergrandpa has to fight the brainy voice, and Arrow’s villain goes for the friends and family plan.

I have no idea what’s happening on Legion because the descriptions are very vague.  Watching the episode only has a fifty/fifty chance of it being any clearer.  On SHIELD, we get get more time with a surprisingly accurate Graviton.  In Riverdale, (no, the other Riverdale,) things don’t stay civil as the gangs go to war.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 30th

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

To start with, the universe expands again as DC has decided to start their own streaming service, and will be starting with Swamp Thing.  The existing shows continue unabated and show no signs of Dropping Coverage of their defined corners. Lucifer’s ladies enjoy a bachelorette party, Supergirl does Outbreak, The Flash guest stars Cisco’s girlfriend, Supergrandpa continues the dystopia of Krypton, and Oliver starts to recognize how useless a quiver of one is.

The House of Ideas gives us a heartbreaking return to corporeality on Legion and the Agents goes back to aliens.  Allegiances shift in Riverdale so the “Archie” relations become even less recognizable.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

 

There’s a big name documentary about how conflicts continue forever because groups of people are constantly seeking to address wrongs that didn’t actually happen to them coming out in theater this week, and I have been distracted by that.  However, their Dark Cousins are still on television.  Our favorite devil takes in a ballet, our second favorite Girl of Steel takes on her boss’s dad’s mind, one of the speedsters invites a favorite guest star back to keep up the strongest pun/title game since Legends’ season finishes, Supergrandpa sings lead for a Guns ‘n Roses hit, and Arrow has to find some new teammates.

The Marvelous shows give us more trippy confusion on Legion (this time, from Syd) and the Agents face Die Hard in a Lighthouse.  The teens who borrowed their names from Archie comics have a violent manhunt and rage against the police.
